Title: Abrasive particle, manufacturing method of the same, polishing method, polishing device, and slurry
Inventor: FUJIMOTO SHUNICHI
IPC: C09K3/14
Filed: 2015-01-19
Abstract: [Problem] To polish the surface of an object material at a high removal rate and into a high-quality surface. [Solution] The object material is polished by wet polishing. A slurry comprises polishing abrasive particles dispersed in pure water. Each of the polishing abrasive particles comprises a component that exerts a mechanochemical action, a component that reacts to a frictional heat generated when polishing the object material, and the like, integrated into a particle as a whole. The components are bonded directly to one another by mechanical alloying while each retains the inherent properties of the substances in the individual component. Using this slurry in a lapping process for sapphire, silicon carbide, gallium nitride, and the like, allows the polishing time to be much shorter than conventionally, and allows the processing costs to be reduced significantly. The quality of the polished surface is high. The polishing abrasive particle can be used repeatedly for polishing. As the pH of the slurry is on the order of 3 to 9, there is no impact on the environment of the polishing work area, and processing of liquid waste is simple.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des techniques permettant de générer et de décoder des codes optiques lisibles par une machine qui ont un composant esthétique qui est intégré dans les codes eux-mêmes. De cette manière, les codes optiques lisibles par une machine peuvent être conçus de sorte à être agréables sur le plan esthétique et/ou peuvent transmettre des informations à des observateurs humains et peuvent même être masqués de telle manière qu'ils ne semblent pas du tout être des codes optique lisibles par une machine. De telles informations peuvent être (mais ne doivent pas être) distinctes des informations codées pour une lecture par une machine même lorsque les informations sont intégrées dans le code lui-même. Les techniques décrites dans la présente invention peuvent être appliquées à n'importe quel type de code optique lisible par une machine.
Patent CA-2948750-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ARNOLD KLAUS
IPC: B22D29/00
Filed: 2015-07-20
Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for casting parts. A  casting mould is provided having casting mould parts or cores manufactured of mould material comprising core sand and binder. The mould is enclosed in a housing forming a filling space, which is filled with a free-flowing filling material and molten metal is poured in the mould. The heat of the molten metal causes the binder of the mould material to vaporise and combust causing the mould to disintegrate. The filling material has such a low bulk density that the filling material packing formed by the filling material can be flowed through by a gas flow. During the filling, the temperature of the filling material rises due to the heat from the mould and released during the combustion of the binder, to beyond a boundary temperature at which the vaporising binder ignites and combusts.
